Ferroelectrics based on van der Waals semiconductors represent an emergent class of materials for disruptive technologies ranging from neuromorphic computing to low-power electronics. However, many theoretical predictions of their electronic properties have yet to be confirmed experimentally and exploited. Here, we use nanoscale angle-resolved photoemission electron spectroscopy and optical transmission in high magnetic fields to reveal the electronic band structure of the van der Waals ferroelectric indium selenide (α-InSe).

Peer recovery specialists (PRSs), individuals with lived substance use experience, are particularly well suited to support vulnerable populations, though often are not trained in delivering evidence-based interventions. Thus, our team developed a Type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation open-label pilot trial to evaluate the effectiveness of PRS-delivered BA (Peer Activate) in improving MT retention and establish feasibility, acceptability and PRS fidelity of the intervention.

- Early discharge (ED) after colectomy is increasingly being prioritized, but the factors influencing it are not fully understood.
- This study analyzed data from over 282,000 patients who underwent non-emergent colectomy between 2012 and 2021 to identify these factors, finding that robotic surgery was significantly associated with ED outcomes.
- Patients who experienced ED—defined as a hospital stay of 2 days or less—demonstrated lower rates of complications and readmissions compared to those with longer stays, indicating that quicker discharges might lead to better overall health outcomes.
Introduction: Older and younger adults are offered similar analgesic options after hemorrhoid surgery (HS), but the differences in pain between the two populations are unknown. This study aims to compare postoperative pain outcomes after HS in older and younger individuals.
Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of electronic medical records of patients who underwent HS between 2018 and 2023.
